NEw YORK, Nov, 81. AT the Irish oele-
bntion Of the twentieth anniversary Of the
execution Of the Manchester martyrs on
Tuesday night, the feature Of the evening
was the speech of Dr.. MeGlynn. He said;
"lrishmen and Irish women, here and
everywhere, assert your natural rights;
assert your rights to freedom, 10 the island
God gave, 10 freedom TO associate, 10 plan,
TO deliberate 10 plot for the Liberation OF
your country, for the assertion OF those God
given and inalienable rights, so that 10
power in heaven will deny them, aud no
power on earth or in hell can e.lectually
frnstrate them. ASS 1T your rights TO sci
entihe advancement, 10 national liberty,
aad to national advancement, anil nay no
more attention TO theologians whether IN
tsone or Madison avenue, than you would

about your fiith? Your faith has nothing
at all 70 do with il. Remember that q
great lrishman and e cd catholic siid he
wohid aS soon take his politics from The
Turk of Constantinnple As from Rome.
Now go ahead, and do what you can for
Ireland, and If any priest or bishop or
